Workshops Cancelled for 2020...see Virtual Summer School ProgrammeMODULE A: -WHY DO CHILDREN BEHAVE THE WAY THEY DO? It is not always easy to understand children's behaviour. It can be challenging, spiteful, indifferent etc. A. Adler and R. Dreikurs gave us a road map for this. During the workshop, we will explore their concepts and ideas for understanding and helping children.

MODULE C: - INVITING ADLER AND DREIKURS TO OUR SCHOOLS; If Parenting is not easy, the same can be said when it comes to the education of children. Educators would love a democratic classroom where discipline is not a struggle, and learning takes place. It is easier said than done. Integrating Individual Psychology concepts in the classroom help to develop a class/school code of conduct and enhance the teacher-student relationship. To be explored during this workshop.

Unity-Joy Dale

BiographyCombining a Fine Art degree with Psychotherapy Unity worked for over 20 years as a Creative Therapist with disabled young adults in particular those suffering head injuries following road accidents. Moving on to follow a Shamanic Path leading to facilitating workshops and courses throughout the country as well as Greece and New Zealand. Having moved away from the ’hub’ over ten years ago she is expanding her creative skills to weaving willow and working with bone and much more besides! Now returning from the Dorset hills walking closer to the earth to facilitate at Summer School.

Using ancient rituals and guided meditation you will seek your ancestral wisdom, whether from parents, grandparents or great great grandparents and look at how the connection with your past can offer insight into your way of being in the world today.

Wandering through the landscape and allowing yourselves to be drawn to a particular tree and discover the gifts of these amazing structures that are the lungs of the world from roots to trunk and out through the branches a story will unfold. Materials will be provided to help depict that story and commit it to memory for future generations. Finally using movement and sound as a way of creating a mantra that will serve you as you go forward. Come sit with me in Mother Nature and be prepared for the unexpected!

Please wear suitable clothing and bring a blanket or cushion to sit on. I look forward to seeing you there!

Evening Presentation - MIND BODY AND DON’T FORGET SPIRIT!

Using the four directions from the ancient medicine wheel of life Unity will demonstrate the importance of balance in the busy life that so many of us live today.

MODULE C: - A creativity space to build internal cohesion

This module is about connecting with self through the use of creative processing & coaching modalities. A calm and creativity focused space with positive stretch and challenge, allowing you to slow down your thinking, tune out logic and tune into that part of you that needs more airtime. If you connect with the following, it may the perfect space for you to create positive enquiry, movement and change:

Who am I? How do I show up?

What parts of me serve me, and which parts are an overworked muscle?

How can I create internal cohesion and connection to influence my wider system though ownership of my own behaviours?

What will I have if I shine the light of awareness on these parts of me? What will be the gift?

Using a myriad of techniques such as collage, paint, text play, creative writing both individually and as a collective group, we will, each day build our understanding of self, our internal ways of being and build self-connection and reflection into your day. We will work individually and as a group, to drive insight, self-accountability and that sense of inner tranquillity. My aim? For each of you to leave with a new pair of metaphorical learning lenses! Each day, we will work with a different medium or way of working to add to your practitioner toolbox. With each process, there will be a handout of the model used for you to shape into your own to work with as you see fit.
